| [Normal](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/uielements/whitespace/normal.md)   | Trailing sequences of whitespace are collapsed into a single whitespace. Text will wrap when necessary. This is the default behavior. |
| [NoWrap](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/uielements/whitespace/nowrap.md)   | Trailing sequences of whitespace are collapsed into a single whitespace. Text will never wrap to the next line.                       |
| [Pre](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/uielements/whitespace/pre.md)         | Whitespace is preserved. Text will only wrap on line breaks.                                                                          |
